With a new megapixel body, there should be a new 50mm with an aspherical lens as well.Where is the MTF of the new EF 24-70 L II with a curve of 150 lines per mm?The technical data of the lenses are no longer meeting the the capabilities of the bodys.

I would expect an expensive "EF 50mm f/2 L IS" prime with an aspherical lens for best image quality as well.

If Canon thinks that to come out a new body by increasing the mega pix to compete with Nikon D800 ... please think again .... it is really not about mega pixels anymore .... it is more about sensor quality and technology that the market is after now! Adding more pixels into the same 2005 silicon die, year in and year out, simply doesn't work anymore this time .... it is more about colour depth (16-bits), dynamic range (14 stops) and low light capability that give Medium Format a real run for its money that the market is after this time!!!!

I too would love eye control focus - I'm upgrading my EOS 3 (the original - with ECF) to a 5D3 at the weekend, and will miss it a great deal.

But let's get real: the 5D3 does not have ECF, even though it is focussed on sport, wedding and events, where it would have real value, particularly if the spot metering was linked to it, as in the EOS3 classic.

The chances of a 3DX having it, when it is likely targeted at landscape and studio, are remote in my view.

And I reckon it will cost more than the 5D3 too...

But who knows. Stranger things have happened.

Only this time make it a flash controller too. As great as the wireless is on the 7D and 600D, the flash strobes are a bit of a pain. Not as much as keeping stocks of 2CR5's for my old ST-E2, thought it's master slave communication system was nicer in use.

They aren't going to bring back ECF, if they had been committed it would have been in the 1v.

Don't know why they dropped it, it works very well for me, and for the folk who aren't willing to set it up properly, who it simply didn't work for, or who hated it (and I've seen some vitriol directed towards it) there was always the off switch.

Gosh, an EOS DSLR with video and with ECF!!! That would drive some of the forum users potty!
